A Bridge Too Far

Matt Roush says...

When Robert Redford passed away Septemer 16 at 89, chances are your mind’s eye went directly to one of his iconic film performances: the Sundance Kid, investigative journalist Bob Woodward, heartthrob Hubbell Gardiner. TCM pays its respects with a 24-hour marathon of his films, starting with the 1977 war epic A Bridge Too Far before moving on to Redford’s significant starring roles in the Neil Simon comedy Barefoot in the Park (9 am/8c) opposite Jane Fonda, 1969’s Downhill Racer (11 am/10c), the political drama of The Candidate (1 pm/12c) and the docudrama All the President’s Men (3 pm/2c) alongside Dustin Hoffman, then two co-starring blockbusters with Paul Newman: The Sting (5:30 pm/4:30c) and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (8/7c), followed by the romantic The Way We Were (10/9c) with Barbra Streisand. His directorial hit, 1992’s A River Runs Through It (12:15 am/11:15c), features his voice as the older version of the main character.
